Paradigm Shift A major change in how people think and get things done. It happens when the accumulation of evidence challenges the status quo.
The status quo being the bullion banks setting the paper price of silver in particular.
If you follow the Shanghai metals exchange it became evident in Feb 2024 that it was now a better and "lead" indicator of the silver price.
My opinion was that that was due to draining of the physical off Shanghai ( by the Chinese people ) which in turn drains the London Bullion Market Associations exchange since the Shanghai exchange commands a premium price.
it is difficult to change the status quo or way people think, but eventually they accept the evidence and change.
My opinion is as these exchanges continue to be drained of the physical the price and perceived value of silver will increase. The word "precious" will once again bring meaning to Silver.
